Hop Growers of America (HGA)
HGA is a not-for-profit organization that represents all hop growers in
the U.S. It does not sell hops. Its goal is to promote the increased
use of American hops through education and marketing.
Presentation Outline
Overview of the U.S. Hop Industry
Overview of the U.S. Craft Beer Industry
Brewing with American Hops
American Craft Brewers approach to making hoppy beer
Tasting of Beers brewed with American Hops
Brewing Competition with American Hops
USA Hops: A European Tradition
Almost all American hop farms
are family owned operations.
Most family farms date back 3,
4, or 5 generations.
British and Dutch colonists first brought hop
plants to New York in the 17th and 18th
centuries.
Hop farming gradually moved west settling solely in the Northwest U.S.
Diversity in growing climates
Willamette Valley (Oregon)
Wet and mild (Bavarian-like) climate.
Unlike leading producers in Europe, U.S. farmers grow hops in two
distinct climates:
Yakima Valley (Washington) and
Boise Valley (Idaho) Semi-desert climate (irrigation is vital)
leads to diversity of hop varieties and advantages in production and supply consistency
Oregon growers specialize in aroma hops, including many specialty hops for U.S. craft beer sector.
Washington and Idaho farmers grow all variety types, but lead the world in production of super-high alpha hops.
Yakima Valley generally has the best alpha yields of any growing region in the world.
Yakima Valley growers can plant and harvest up to 80% of a mature crop in just one season. This is a huge advantage in being able to respond to a quickly changing market (and provides security for brewery customers).
Alpha/Bittering Hops vs. Noble/Aroma Varieties
Traditionally, the U.S. was the leading producer of high alpha bittering hops,
while Germany was the worlds leading supplier of aroma varieties.
Today both Germany and the U.S. grow a well balanced portfolio of High
Alpha and Aroma hops.
U.S. aroma hop examples:
Cascade (most popular U.S. aroma variety among craft brewers)
Willamette (widely used by both large and small brewers - similar to
Fuggle, Styrian Golding and Tettnang)
Mt. Hood (a daughter of Hallertauer Mittelfrueh)
Sterling (good substitute for Czech Saaz)
2009
Hop Acreage (ha)
Washington 11,974 ha (75%) Oregon 2,472 ha (15%) Idaho 1,631 ha (10%) Total 16,077 ha
U.S. Hop Production (MT)
Washington 34.0 million kg (79%) Oregon 5.4 million kg (13%) Idaho 3.6 million kg (8%) Total 43.0 million kg
USA Harvest Statistics
2010
Hop Acreage (ha)
Washington 9,759 ha (77%) Oregon 1,939 ha (15%) Idaho 949 ha (8%) Total 12,647 ha
U.S. Hop Production (MT) - ESTIMATE
Washington 24.0 million kg (80%) Oregon 3.7 million kg (12%) Idaho 2.3 million kg (8%) Total 30.0 million kg
2010 U.S. acreage decreased 21% to 12,647 ha.
2010 U.S. production reduced was 30% to 30 million kg (2009 = 43 mil kg)
This decrease was in response to the oversupply of hops in the world

2008 U.S. Craft Beer Growth
Grew 5.8% by volume to 10.1 million hl and 10.5% by value to $6.32 billion Large U.S. domestic breweries grew by just 0.6% Imports fell by 3.4%
In 2009, U.S. beer market declined 2.2% to approx $101 billion.
Craft breweries grew 7% by volume to 10.7 million hl and 10% by value to $7 billion
Craft now has 4.3% U.S. market share by volume and 6.9% market share by value
2009 U.S. Craft Beer Growth
Analysis of Beers Containing American Hops
Research done at Sierra Nevada Brewing Company
Standardization of Hop Additions
Target 35-40 BU beer.
Target similar oil content for all beers.
From total oil analysis of the cone hops, more or less
aroma hop was used to standardize total oil levels added
to the kettle from each variety.
Bittering German Magnum addition was adjusted or floated
to compensate for the variable amounts of alpha added
from the aroma hop additions.

Defining Hoppy Characteristics
Traditional European Hop Aroma
Nobel Hop Aroma Woody, Deep-Rich Resin Like
Centering on the oxidized sesquiterpenoids
-humulene, -caryophyllene and -Farnesene
H/C (humulene / caryophyllene) ratios of 3/1 or higher
Flavor stable hop oil compounds
Jean De Clerck wrote in A Textbook of Brewing American hops are characterized by a rather fruity flavor which is
unsuitable for European beer.
Classic European hop varieties-
Hallertauer Mittelfrueh, Tettnanger, Spalter, and Saaz
Defining Hoppy Characteristics
New American Craft Brewer Hoppy Aroma
Fruity, Flowery with some Sulfur-Containing Hop Notes
Monoterpene / light oil character
Less flavor stable hop oil components
No established hop oil ratio to utilize as a selection aid
Potential marker oils
Limonene, Linalool, and Geraniol
Selection of high total oil % cultivars popularized by American
Craft Brewers
Hop Oils Associated with American Hops
A world of flavors to offer
Monoterpenoids
Myrcene- Spicy
Linalol- Floral
Geraniol- Floral
Limonene- Citrus, fruity
Terpineol- Woody, resinous
Pinene- Spicy, Piney
Cirtral- Citrus
Cadinene- Citrus
-Associated with fresh / non-oxidized dry hop aroma
Sesquiterpenoids
Humulene
Caryophyllene

Brewing with American Hops
High Alpha vs. Aroma Use of aroma varieties for the bittering charge
Some mash & first wort hopping to achieve more complex aroma and flavor
Aroma hops in beginning of boil
Deletion of / or reduction of middle additions
Large late kettle, whirl-pool or hop back additions
Dry Hopping
Use of Hop Backs Hot side (Brewhouse) and cold side (cellar)
Fresh or Wet Hop Beers
Other unique practices Dogfish Head (continuous hopping & the Randall)
Whirl-pool Hopping
Hop Backs
Dry Hopping with Pellets
Dry- Hopping Considerations Selection of best (new crop year) aroma varieties
Blending hops for consistency and complexity
Yeast Activity Rousing with CO2 to help control DO and mix
Temperature Considerations (warm or cold?) Extraction better at elevated temperatures
Emphasis on low dissolved oxygen (DO)
Removal of yeast plug prior to dry hopping
Contact time Short contact time (3-4 days) vs. Long contact time (4-14days)
Sanitary technique
Effect on clarification and filtration of beer
Blending of beers at finishing
Microbiological Considerations Organisms found in hops and dry hopped beer
